Montenegro: Assessing and Monitoring the State of Governance in the Context of European Integration

The project will focus on establishment of an appropriate system of governance indicators regarding political criteria for European Integration through facilitating cooperation of the Government and civil society and designing and piloting of nationally owned methodology. The project is primarily designed to support the government institutions as beneficiaries. Main partners will be Committee for European Integration and International Cooperation of the Parliament of Montenegro and Secretariat for European Integration in the Government of Montenegro. This way the project will have strong political leadership. Independency of research will be ensured through engagement of national think-thank(s), that may result in building of their capacities in the collection, maintenance and analysis of European Integration governance related data.

Efficiency and transparency of Government improved in order to effective lead policy formulation, coordination and service delivery in accordance with EU requirements (CPAP outcomes linked to the MYFF goal and service line)

Expected Output:

Establishment of appropriate system of governance indicators regarding political criteria for European Integration through facilitating cooperation of the Government and civil society and designing and piloting of nationally owned methodology.

This output will be reached through conducting the following activities:

Establishment of a Taskforce to develop core set of indicators related to political criteria for European integration building on ”lessons learned and best practices” in terms of public participation, research methodology and practical techniques.

Preparation of a pilot research report “Democratic Governance Indicators: Assessing the State of Governance in the Context of European integration in Montenegro”.

Democratic governance assessment will assist the country’s political leadership to better target the reforms covered in Copenhagen political criteria and thus speed up the realization of Montenegro’s overall strategic goal – democratic consolidation and full membership into the European Union. These indicators will represent a rich source of information for regular Progress Reports on implementation of Stabilization an Association Agreement produced by European Commission. At the same time these indicators will be important input for National Human Development Report in Montenegro.
